Customer: I have burn-in on my 10 month old ASUS monitor
ASUS: Oh look at this slight scratch on the back of the monitor. It's totaled. That'll cost you [original price+200] dollars to fix. Pay up or we send it back disassembled.

[IDK-ghst]

Reading the comments is tiring. I'm looking for opinions on the monitor but all I'm seeing are unfunny, unoriginal jokes about warranty :facepalm:

[DazTheMe]

That's actually a typo on the Asus website, its 3 Hour warranty not 3 Year warranty.

[CarnivoryHODL]

Now, we just need a glossy 4K 32in WOLED. C’mon, LG

[RabbitConfirmed]

Im not gonna lie.. Glossy just has something about it. It's just, I love my matte gaming Monitors. But whenever I look at my Macbook which uses a glossy screen, or even my TV, there is just this difference. Yes reflections are really bad, but idk, it's just so nice.

[eugkra]

I don't get why we didn't see many more gloss panels up to now. Like even for IPS panels.

[andrewmorris]

Tim, the reduced power consumption in comparison to QD-OLED of an all white image is largely due to MLA.

[joshuac]

Finally! A glossy panel that’s not a disgusting greyed out purple mess. Hopefully a 4k option comes out now

[evaone]

You guys are my go to source for tech products. I bought my last monitor based on your reviews and i love it! (LG 32GR93U)

[Crusherix]

I'm SO GLAD they changed the stand back to a square. I couldn't stand the 3 legged design.

[TheIceMan]

I don't like matte costings at all. I detest the diffusion banding that mimicks pixelating.

[SeventhCircle]

Honestly the LG27GS83QE I got has like a semi matte. Compared to my ips it is much more glossy, but still has enough to diffuse the reflections

[doctorfresh]

Now we need a Glossy Mini-Led 1000+ Local Dimming Zones. Whose gonna be the first company to do that?

[mkatakm]

I didn't buy an OLED monitor until now because I was waiting for glossy ones 🤪

[PhotoJohn]

I wonder what kind of crazy crap they would come up with to deny your burn in warranty lol.

[PD-wstd]

With the compromises on this monitor, I feel like this is just Asus testing the glossy market.

[deathcall]

I have seen other displays with Qd-oled matte and glossy, and also matte WOLED, but i believe glossy WOLED is the way, it looks gorgeous.

[pirx]

3:18 exactly. now they need to make a gorilla glass version of the upcoming PG27AQDP 480 hz

[JBrinx]

I laughed so hard with Tim waving his hand tilting back and forth in the screen reflection 5:00

[shaidmiah]

if only these new monitors were actually in stock
